The Obama Era Continues

Located atop the USA's lower 48, Michigan has always represented Americas erect penis - giving the high hard one to Canada and everyone else. The health of the nation can be gaged by tracking the University of Michigan Wolverines Football Program. When times are good Big Blue is lead into battle by the likes of Fielding Yost and Bo Schembechler but when times are bad they suffer under inferior coaching by fellows like Harry Kipke and Bump Elliott. Today I was prepared to (day dreaming actually) write a blog post declaring the birth of a new and glorious era for our beloved nation with a well earned Michigan victory over the MSU filthy Spartan squad who have usurped the throne for the past 7 years of national misery. Today was to be the day we ushered out the Rich Rodriguez/Brady Hoke mediocrity in favor of heart pounding steel will Harbaughness - but today is not that day.

MSU had almost no chance of winning the game, but they won anyway. The Wolverines still have a shot at redemption when they play Ohio State in November, but for the rest of the nation the world remains turned upside down. God help us all.

Besides, she was no worse than any of the other women on morning show TV - I mean, you're only going to find a certain kind of person to do this kind of work and that kind of person is the Gretchen Carlson kind. Then, one day, she was gone and replaced by Elisabeth Hasselbeck and the F&F ratings began to climb, and climb and climb - in two months view...

Greatest Headline of All Time Those readers living outside of Charlottesville, VA or Central Virginia proper might not be aware of the ongoing effort to pull down and move the statue of Gen. Robert E. Lee from the town square otherwise known as Lee Park (not named after Harper Lee or Bruce Lee or Stan Lee but after the same Robert E. Lee). Charlottesville is a college town and like all college towns it's filled with college professors and assorted flakes who vote nincompoops into elected office as their representatives so it was no surprise to me when back in April the city council decided to do this : "Despite a pending court case that will ultimately determine the general’s fate, the Charlottesville City Council voted 3-2 Monday night to sell the city’s statue of Confederate Gen. Robert E. Lee." "Confederate General" is a sad, marginalizing descriptor for what surly must be one of the greatest Americans to ever walk this land and lead its people by p...
